A Few Parker BPs

Chthulhu · Rawr.

Very fond of my Jotters, pens and pencils both. That Mandarin yellow pen is a beauty!

Thanks! It is one of the few I specifically bought as a "Collector's Item". I need to move some pens around in my display cases to find a spot to show it in my home office.

The Big Red is Mandarin Yellow also, but I accidentally de-glossed the finish with a wipe having alcohol in it. I kick myself many times for that, but Ron Zorn on FPN told me once to try Quixx acrylic headlight restorer to put a gloss back on. Trouble is, I need such a small quantity I can not justify spending more than $20 for a large bottle I'll never use afterward. Someday perhaps, when my car needs it...

Future acrylic floor "polish," perhaps?

This is a current favorite Parker BP - the stainless steel Reflex. Not commonly available anymore, this is a bigger "Jotter" lacking only a solid refill advance mechanism. The clicker is okay, just less precise and solid feeling than some older Jotters.

I only have two of these. I should have bought at least five of them when I had an opportunity. The barrel is textured rubber, so the grip is slightly cushioned but easy to hold. The pen is much larger than a Jotter, so my long term usage is much more comfy. The all-plastic and fountain pen reflexes are more available, and I have two FPs for use. They use the Vector nib, and write very well for a bargain Parker.

Anyways, just two more Parker BPs I am happy with.

Been a long while since I've posted anywhere since I've had to move to a new Dell PC with Windows 10. My old Vista machine started acting screwy, so I took the leap with Microsoft's latest boondoggle. (Actually, I hope it works very well!)

Here's a couple of snaps of some Vectors. First, a UK FP with a Medium nib. Then a group of older USA Vector rollerballs. And a later UK rollerball in the package. Nice pens, but terrible photos, LOL!
